I feel like I need to write though this will be a short one because I am in the middle of something. I am having -- thus far, cross my fingers and knock on wood -- a good school year. I am halfway keeping up with grading, and I have even managed to write a little. Not enough though because I have recently received some new inspiration and a second wind. It always happens that way. When I feel inspired and ready to write, I have gotten too busy. Perhaps, it's just some kind of semi-destructive, self-fulfilling prophecy. I am afraid to fail with my writing so I don't get inspired until I get to a point where I'm too busy to write. Perhaps, it's a self protecting wall so that I don't have to bear the sorrow of failure. Just a thought. I know there are people who are always finding ways to self destruct. Perhaps, I'm unintentionally self destructing my writing career because I'm afraid I'm going to fail anyway. I can always use the excuse, "I've been too busy to write." I wonder if anyone else ever does this.
